About this property

The Snookery is perfectly located just 3 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and 8 miles from downtown Asheville. Just hop on the Parkway and have the Appalachian wilderness at your beck and call or mosey on down to the hottest town the South has to offer.

This is one of four rental units in Snookville along with the Snookmore (house, sleeps 10), the Snook Nook (apartment, sleeps 2), and the Snookstream (glamping, sleeps 2 - coming soon). The Snookmore is also on VRBO and the Snook Nook is on Airbnb. For reviews of us as hosts, please look up the Snook Nook on Airbnb.

Perched on the mountainside, the Snookery has two back decks with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Designed to sleep up to 12 comfortably, the Snookery affords large groups a place to convene, but can also provide an intimate stay.

Newly constructed in 2107, it has a fully equipped kitchen for the gourmet chef, the option of a Keurig, Coffee maker or hot tea pot for the morning haze, and both a dining room and back porch dining table for any meal setting you please. Also on the back deck you'll find a grill for the vacation cookout and a hot tub for the end of the day wind down. Down on the bottom level, there's room to relax and play with a foosball table, a big screen TV (with Roku and free Netflix) and another porch with obligatory rocking chairs. Just off the lower porch, there's a fire pit with plenty of firewood-- and we can even set you up with a fireside treat package (one of the possible extras to be found in Snookville). Top all that off with brand new mattresses and plentiful pillows to lay your head, and you've got the perfect home base for your Appalachian adventure. The only trick will be leaving the Snookery!

Best equipped rental ever!

I reserved this property almost a year in advance, and it was ideal for our family the weekend of our son's wedding. My parents, brothers, and their families stayed next door at the Snookmore, which was an added bonus. We have stayed in many rentals on vacations, but this one was the best equipped. We liked that there was a good supply of basic pantry in the house (like seasonings and oil) as well as generous supplies for the Keurig, including pods, creamer, and sweetners. The house is very clean and spacious and everything worked well. Definitely recommend!

July in Asheville

Great home base for my husband and I, two adult children and spouses, and 26-month old grandson. Appreciated that the owners provided high-quality thick towels and similar quality linens. Soap and shampoo/conditioner dispensers in the baths and showers had great-smelling product. Kitchen well stocked not just with Pottery Barn white dishes but beautiful drinking and wine glasses. Oldest generation loved the main floor master suite, and the two large 2nd floor nearly identical bedrooms with en suite baths eliminated any problems with assigning rooms. Lots of space fir couple private time. The booster seat, multiple baby gates and Pack ‘n Play were just what we needed, as well as child-friendly plates and cups in the kitchen. Local beer in the frig and a great selection of coffee pods were a nice surprise. And when we found on the first morning that the coffee carafe was cracked, the owner replaced it with a brand new one within hours. Enjoyed mornings on the large deck off the living area, after dinner in the river cling chairs on same porch. Gazing into the woods and viewing mountains and clouds made us feel remote and relaxed, but we were only 15 minutes to the main road and all shopping conveniences. Ran out of time for s’mores in the fire pit but there’s always next time.

We came here for my sisters bachelorette party and the property couldn’t have been more perfect. It was clean, HUGE, had everything we needed and more. Communication with the host, Aaron Snook, was quick and easy. We will absolutely be back. Thank you so much to the Snooks for all the love they’ve put into this place. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip.

Absolutely STUNNING home & view—A MUST STAY!

Highly recommend the Snookery! Communication with the property manager (Aaron) was fabulous- very responsive and helpful, salted the roads prior to our departure (snowed that morning creating a beautiful winter wonderland)! The house itself is huge, spacious and soooo clean! They’ve thought of everything - wel stocked kitchen complete with kcups, sugars, ziplocks, dishwasher tabs, pods for laundry, trash bags, extra toilet paper and paper towels!! My hubby loved the beers that were kindly left!! One of the most generous places I’ve stayed at regarding what the property owner provided— also was able to use the baby gates, booster and pac and play which came in huge handy!! We loved the hot tub! We enjoyed roasting s’mores at the fire pit - and played some of the games that were left for our enjoyment. We visited Matildas children’s area and loved the big TVs!! Very convenient to downtown Asheville - we went to Biltmore and the shops as well as got some Yummy food- (we hiked Catawba falls) and checked out quaint black mtn downtown!! Definitely go by the Black Mtn downtown if you can- you won’t regret it!! I highly recommend this home and location! We made some awesome memories. Awesome experience. Five stars for sure!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Aaron Snook

We've been Super hosts for Airbnb for a year now here in Asheville and are now expanding Snookville! This marks the grand opening of the Snookmore and the Snookery, both houses that sleep 10 and 12 respectively. Coming soon will be the Snookstream, a glamping experience. Needless to say, we love hosting and providing our guests with a unique and comfy experience. We've stayed in short term rentals all over the country and world and we've been taking notes. We aim to create the very same experience we would want and we think we're getting pretty good at it. We hope to host y'all soon!

Why they chose this property

The Snookery was created with the Ashevillian traveller in mind. The sole purpose of this property, from the time we broke ground, was to create a perfect home base for everyone's Appalachian adventure. From the amenities to the extra packages, we've tried to think of everything. Come on down and see for yourself!
